Ganseys are sweaters that developed in 19th-century England as hard-wearing garments for hard-working fisherman. Characterized by their dense, dark yarns, rich pattern combinations,and dropped shoulders, these simple square garments provide the modern knitter with a template for a wide variety of classic designs. Detailed, step-by-step line drawings and photographs, sidebars, and formulas help the reader build a foundation of skills. Pattern graphs and instructions for six of the author's own designs are included.
